When I look at pictures of Rob in his Edward look... I don't see Rob Pattinson... I only see Edward Cullen. I think he is 100 percent perfect for the role and is who I pictured while reading all the books. He does that crooked smile perfect and his voice and line delivery have been great in the trailers, Comic Con, & Penelope footage. The chemistry between him and Kristen seems to be out of this world in interviews. According to the director the screen test was electric and the chemistry between the actors was cited by both Rob and Kristen as a reason they wanted to do it. Plus, it seems like Rob really gets the character of Edward and when he got to read part of Midnight Sun, it fell in line with what he was already doing. I can't wait to see him in the movie and hopefully the other sequels.

i know its not exactly a funny thing because well its just not but imagine actually seeing it written down Cause of death: loss of breath due to Robert Pattinson.i already hyperventilate now with just the sneek peaks and trailers so a full film... will be interesting

I'm exactly the same way! They might want to hand out free brown paper sacks to everyone at the movie theaters or have medical care standing by.

When I found out Robert was cast as Edward.I almost had heart failure.

I obviously knew him from HP andI liked him in that, and I'd seen him in The Bad Mother's Handbook and I LOVED him in that

Then I went and saw his little scene in Vanity Fair. He's marvelous.

I think he's going to be so perfect for Edward. From the clips I've seen and the articles I've read he's just going to be mind blowing. I can't wait. Admittedly he wasn't what I had as Edward in my mind's eye. TBH I didn't have anybody pictured. It was impossible for me to put a face to the character.

When Stephenie put the announcement up on her site with a pic of Rob, I instantly saw Edward. And like Meyer, I never got the whole Gaspard Ulliel thing.
